Ilse D. Ammonsen Brass Candlestick
Denmark · 1950s
$995
An adjustable candlestick operating on a counterweight mechanism — a small brass sphere at the base balancing the arm and cup above, protecting against wax spill when the piece is moved. Functional ingenuity rendered as a beautiful object.
a note from Chase
Ammonsen's work rarely makes it outside of Scandinavian auction houses. This piece is as much a conversation object as it is a working candleholder — the mechanism invites handling.
